Shoyeido – Japanese Incense from Kyoto Since 1705 (72)

Shoyeido's Japanese incense carries over three centuries of unbroken family craft: founded in Kyoto in 1705, the Hata family has preserved and refined recipes rooted in the Imperial Court tradition — blending sandalwood, agarwood, spices and resins into compositions of rare balance and quiet depth.

Four Japanese incense collections – from everyday to exceptional

Shoyeido offers incense sticks for every level of practice and every kind of moment — here are the four essential collections:

  • Daily Incense Series – discovery and everyday use The collection through which generations of incense lovers first encountered Shoyeido. Nokiba, Kyo-Nishiki, Haku-un and other references offer classic Kyoto recipes in an accessible format — warm, woody and deeply Japanese. Ideal for meditation and everyday wellbeing.
  • Overtones Series – one ingredient, centre stage A contemporary line built around a single aromatic ingredient: sandalwood, Frankincense, vanilla, cinnamon or palo santo — each interpreted through Shoyeido's Japanese sensibility, familiar yet refined.
  • Aesthetics Series – low smoke, clear atmosphere Madoka, Honoka, Kasumi and Oboro: four low-smoke incense sticks designed for modern interiors and quiet daily moments. Discreet, elegant and at ease in any space.
  • Premium Series – craftsmanship at its most demanding Hand-blended in Kyoto with high-grade agarwood and noble sandalwood. Matsu-no-Tomo, Misho, Kyo-Jiman and Oja-Koh offer exceptional depth, complexity and longevity — for connoisseurs and meaningful occasions.

How to use and burn Shoyeido incense sticks

Place the incense stick in a stable, heat-resistant holder, light the tip and let it catch for a few seconds before gently blowing out the flame. Burn time varies by reference, typically between twenty and thirty minutes. A lightly ventilated room allows the natural aromas to develop fully — take the time to be present.

Shoyeido makes a gift that lasts — three centuries of Japanese tradition, in something small enough to hold and meaningful enough to remember.
